You use the plugin software development kit (SDK) to write your own stage and data connection plugins. The SDK is contained in this file:
HCI-Plugin-SDK-<version>.tgz
For information on obtaining this file, see your sales representative or administrator.
About the plugin SDK
The plugin SDK is in the form of a Java API. To build plugins, you need the Java Development Kit (JDK) version 17 or higher. You can download the JDK from http://www.oracle.com/.
Plugin requirements
The plugins you write need to be grouped into plugin bundles. A plugin bundle can contain one or more plugins. The SDK includes instructions on grouping your plugins as plugin bundles.
Testing your plugins
Hitachi Content Intelligence includes a plugin test harness for debugging your plugins and ensuring that they meet system requirements. The plugin test harness does not need a running system.
You can find the test harness and its documentation under the plugin-test folder in the plugin SDK package.
